Tent Expo 2011 – Event Update

November 22, 2011 11:30 am

HTS tentiQ’s Tent Expo exhibition attracts more and more visitors every year, with even the final day of the four-day event at the Wächtersbach exhibition showground proving to be very well attended. A full range of HTS tentiQ tent systems were on show, as well as products made by industry suppliers in the exhibitor’s area.

Around 2,000 visitors came to Wächtersbach between the Thursday and the Saturday.

At the centre of the event was the 20 x 40m two-storey tent, an AUDI design. Aside from the tent’s impressive honeycomb façade, the generously-proportioned terrace proved to be one of the highlights enjoyed most. This structure was a HTS tentiQ-Manhattan system combined with an Avantgarde glass front. This system has ultimately proven to be an outright bestseller for HTS tentiQ. “We can barely satisfy demand”, Heinz Röder .

The majority of partner exhibitors were to be found on the ground floor of the tent, where products such as furniture, technology for keder hooks and table linen were on display.

Another highlight of the exhibition was the showcasing of the Carbon tent system, which is now available in a width of 40 metres. One year after officially going on sale, the new material is arousing a great deal of interest. Heinz Röder is particularly pleased with sales in European countries outside Germany: “In countries such as France and Italy, but also in Scandinavia too, is where demand is particularly high.”

On this occasion, a larger amount of space and attention was afforded to military and rescue tents, where the selection of products on offer ranged from troop tents to tank maintenance tents.
